17 August 2018
2018 marked the inception of the inaugural Inter House Photography competition. This event had many participants from all Houses and in all divisions. The top entries from each division of each House were then shortlisted to be part of the exhibition.
The theme of the competition “Habitat” saw the submission of many varied and interesting interpretations. This reflects the creativity of the students and skills hitherto unexplored from others.
On the judging day (17 August), the winning photograph of the competition was that of Sunny Singh (5 Thoburn). Entitled “Reflections”, Sunny explained: “My reflection through the window of my city is living proof that I belong somewhere. Growing up in a foreign country brings up this dilemma of national identity. But when I looked out of the window, I realised that nationality means nothing – this is my habitat. I belong here.”
A clear message that resonates with us all.
The two runners up were Sean Chua (5 LSG) and Shermaine Saw (2 LSG). Congratulations to Sunny and to Thoburn House for winning the overall House Competition. The standard of 2018 bodes well for the future.
